   Sharks & Swimmers:   
   The dreamer had an elevated view (as if from a lifeguard tower) of a sandy   
   beach, suitable for surfing, looking out over the water.  The only problem   
   was, these *enormous* sharks (roughly the size of a *large* Great White) were   
   coming directly in (   
   perpendicular) to the edge of the beach; when reaching the edge of the water,   
   each shark would make a distinct U-turn (in a clockwise direction) and swim   
   straight out.  The dreamer was reasonably concerned that sharks were directly   
   IN the swimming /    
   surfing area, but even more absorbed with the pattern they were swimming,   
   almost as if in an electromagnetically controlled circuit.  Something   
   (unclear) was said aloud alerting the area to the presence of these huge   
   sharks in the water, at which point    
   another guy spoke back to the dreamer in a placating manner, saying something   
   like, "Oh, they do this all the time.  My daughter even has befriended one of   
   them."   
     The dreamer looked, and sure enough, this young girl, maybe 6 years old, had   
   waded into the water up to about her mid-chest, possibly up to her neck, and   
   had her right arm over one of these huge sharks, as if petting it on its   
   journey along the edge of    
   the beach prior to its right turn to swim out again, directly away from the   
   beach.   
     The dreamer was having a bit of difficulty understanding how a dad could   
   allow his little girl to behave in such a manner, apparently having forgotten   
   the principle of "judge NOT" as the dream just ended.  Clarity 9-, except for   
   a bit of lost script    
   near the beginning.   
      
   Po-Po & Pedestrians:   
   The dreamer was standing along the north side of a short piece of road which   
   resembled the "real life" road of Greenland Drive, just west of the   
   intersection with Scottland Drive, looking south across the road, watching at   
   least one vehicle which had    
   come along the "left" side of the road, driving west to east, as if the   
   location were in the UK or such.  The vehicle that stopped just to the   
   dreamer's left was a type of "small," open top Jeep, yet on the sportier side,   
   and with a definite sense of    
   horsepower / "muscle," and the driver (who was on the left hand side, which is   
   indicative of American type vehicles) appeared to be a rougher version of   
   myself (or my dad) being around his mid-thirties, with darker hair, and   
   possibly the hint of a    
   grizzly beard (the view wasn't perfectly clear.  It *could* have been a   
   version of my college buddy, LWD.)  The guy who was standing to the dreamer's   
   left had a clear resemblance to Mike Abernathy, a guy who was friends during   
   the first half of the 4th    
   grade (IRL) until he went more toward the ruffian (secular) side of life,   
   which made the dreamer feel like my tall yet youthful 4th grade self as well,   
   just that the dreamer felt a bit "older" in the dream, like maybe the age of   
   the driver of that sports-   
   jeep.   
      
   There was a *distinct* feeling about the vehicle, as if the driver were an   
   undercover narc, and the lure of the sense of drugs was simply to entice folk   
   over for the purpose of getting "busted."  So while there was a touch of   
   dialogue between the dreamer    
   and the driver, having something to do with asking the horsepower of the   
   vehicle, the sport-jeep drove off, as a small band of folk, perhaps early 20s,   
   walked up and got "in the dreamer's face" as the lead inquisitor was a female   
   with shoulder-length (or    
   longer) straight, dark brown hair, along with eyes to match.  She had a   
   "Latina" aura and even an accent, as if the language in the dream was using   
   English as a 2nd language.  She was inquisitive (that's a polite word for the   
   situation) in a "get in your    
   business" type way, wanting to know things like, "What are you doing? What are   
   you looking for?" "What's your purpose?" only using a MUCH rougher   
   vocabulary.  There was a *distinct* feeling that the group was forming a type   
   of temptation to the dreamer,    
   as if asking, "What's your weakness?  Sex, drugs, human trafficking?" at which   
   point the dreamer was responding with "thinking" type answers, like "We were   
   interested in the specs on that vehicle," and finally, "What business is it of   
   yours?" at which    
   point, they all "backed off" / left as the dream ended.   
      
   When someone uses a question as a way of getting IN to your soul, the best   
   defense is a reply question, such as "what business is it of *yours* what *I*   
   do?"  When temptation questions, question.   
      
   House & Houseguests:   
   The dreamer was in a *large,* two-story home, as the lower floor seemed   
   designed for reception of folk, family, visitors / guests, while the upper   
   floor felt quite a bit more "homey" as for family dining, kitchen, rest &   
   relaxation.  I suspect this is    
   the most I've ever "felt" a dwelling place in my dreams.  Sure, I've had LOTS   
   of descriptions before, many much better, but this place was *felt*.   
      
   A few folk were gathered upstairs, mostly sitting around the walls in comfy   
   chairs or perhaps a couch or so, but it did have a "dim" feel to it, until the   
   dreamer switched on the lights, which definitely brightened up the room and   
   the people seemed to    
   perk up a bit as well.  It *seemed* like they had come together for the   
   dreamer's birthday dinner celebration, but there was no food in evidence nor   
   was there much appetite *for* food, until a group of youthful kids came near   
   the outside of the lower    
   floor (the front entrance) not unlike trick-or-treaters (last night WAS   
   Hallowe'en, after all!) except they felt as if they should have been   
   "expected," due to the sign out on the front lawn.  Sure enough, there was a   
   sign similar to those political    
   signs you see in people's yards, roughly 2½' wide, by maybe 1½' in height,   
   but the height of the sign on the two stakes in the ground gave it a square   
   appearance, and as the dreamer was looking toward the road, the front of the   
   sign was pointed away,    
   also toward the road.  There was a feeling of something like, "Oh, THAT sign"   
   as if to ask, "WHO put that sign in the yard?" or "WHY did I put that sign up?"   
      
   At any rate, the dreamer's perspective returned to inside the house, welcoming   
   the incoming kids to the upper area, and the question of food came up, like,   
   "Where's the food?" to which the dreamer asked, "Did you bring any with you?"   
   although he (I?) was    
   moved to begin the process of ordering pizza as the dream ended.  Clarity 9   
   throughout, although it did seem to pick up a bit when the light switch came   
   on upstairs :-)
